WHY LEE FOUGHT AT GErTYs,Ro
How thu. Great Battle on Pennsylvania GU,
Was Drawn on Unexpectedly.

Was Drawn ON Unexpectedly.
It had not been Gen. Lees intention
to deliver a general battle while so far
from his base unless attacked, but ha
now found himself by the mere force
of circumstances committed to n savs
Gen. Henry j. Hunt, writing in tIs
Century of the battle of Gettysburg
If it must take place, the sooner tIes
better. His army was now nearly all
on the ground, and delay, while it could
not improve his OWL position, would
certainly better that of his antagonist
Longstreet, indeed, urged Gen. Lee in.
stead of attacking to turn Meade's left.
and by interposing between him and
Washington and threatening his com.
munications, to force him to attack the
Confederate army in position; but Gen.
Lee probably saw that Meade wouldbe
under no such necessity; would have
no great difficulty in obtaining supplies.
and-disregarding his clamor from
Washington-could play o waiting game
which it would be impossible for Lee
to maintain in the open country. He
could not advance on Baltimore or
Washington with Meade in his rear.
nor could his army subsist itself in a
hostile region which would soon swarm
with additional enemies. Hi commune
cations would be cut off, for his recon.
mendation to assemble even q small
army at C%ulpepper to cover them and
aid him had not been complied with.

burg than at any point east of it With
the defiles of the South mountain
range close in his rear. which could be
easily held by a small force, . safe re-
treat through the Cumberland Valley
was assured, SO that his army once
through the passes would be practically
on the banks of the Potomac, at q point
already prepared for crossing. Any
position east of Gettysburg would de-
prive him of these advantages. 1t is
more probable that Gen. Lee was in
auenced by cool calculation of this
nature than by hot blood, o. that the
opening success Of q chance battle had
thrown him off his balance. Whatever
his reasons, he decided to accept the
gage of battle offered by Meade, and to
attack as o o as practicable. Ewell
had made arrangements to take pos
session of Culp's Hill in the early morn
ing, and his troops were under arms
for the purpose by the time Gen. Meade
had finished his moonlight inspection
of his lines, when it was ascertained by
o accommodating party sent out by
johnson that the hill was occupied and
it's defenders on the alert; and further,
from q captured dispatch from Gen.
Sykes to Gen. Slocum, that the Fifth
Corps was on the Hanover road only
four miles off, and would march at 4 a
M. for Culp's Hill. Johnson thereupon
deferred his attack and awaited Ewell's
instructions.
Gen. Lee had, however, during the
night determined to attack the federal
left with Longstreet's corps, and now
instructed Ewell, so soon as he heard
Longstreet's guns, to make a diversion
in his favor, to be converted, if oppor-
tunity offered, into a real attack.

A CURIOUS fact has been brought to
light by the recent conversion into stock
companies of the great brewing con-
Germs of Guinness & Co., and Allsopp g.
Co. It is that the brewers and whole
sale liquor-dealers of Great Britain con-
troll nearly all of the few licensed drink
ing-shops in that country, and thus
constitute a gigantic monopoly of the
drink traffic, resembling that of petro-
leum by our Standard Oil Company.

pitched battle in Oil City, Pa, recently.
The sparrow was the aggressor, and at
tackled the rat viciously, striking at it

THE NEW JAIL BUILDING.
Experts Point Out Some of its Defects
Their Report.

-InelT ENePCIb.
The committee of experts appointed by
the County Commissioners to examine the
new Jail reports that it finds that the stone
asher needs jointing up and some of the
slls need ''throatingn The Portland ce-
ment floor has no boards in many places,
and the brick walls in the prison are rough
and unsightly in their general appearance.
The galvanized iron cornice on the Jail
building is not straight, and there are four
or five leaks in it. The flashing around
the main ventilator stands out about one
inch, exposing the wood sheathing and catch
ing rain water. The side sills of all the
windows in the residence should be pointed
up TO prevent leakage. A coal bin is re
quired in the western basement.
The outside stuccoing is extremely rough
and imperfect, and it does not come up to
the specifications. the ingredients being
poor and. inferior or improperly mixed.
The electric wire have not been run through
the speaking tubes as required by the speci-
fications. The threats of the flues are too
narrow to give sufficient draught and pre-
vent smoking.
The committee recommends a thorough
test of the heating apparatus. 1t considers
the general plan of the jail good and well
adapted TO this climate. The light is am
pie, the ventilation all that could be de-
sired, and the prison safe and strong, but
the execution of the brick and stone work
is poor, rough and inferior.
The report was signed by Calvin Fay
architect, John W. Williams, bricklayer,
B. r. Armstrong, mason, and A. j. Ayles-
worth, carpenter, James Mckinley, carpen-
ter, and p. II. Herman, tinsmlth.

SAVED BY THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
How the Truckers Depend Upon the

How the Truckers Depend Upon the
Bureau for Weather Reports.
The Signal Service comes in for a good
deal of round abuse whenever it slips up on
prediction, but it has not occurred to the
general public yet that the service is or may
be Of any practical value, but it is, even if
it does call for cold wave when the Their
mometer mounts skyward once in awhile
Mr.. John Williams owns a truck farm
about three miles out on the Augusta road,
and he makes the signal service Of great
value TO him. Every morning, unless the
weather is settled, he calls
at the Office to inquire what
the probabilities are, and although
he knows the signal service makes mistakes
he nevertheless heeds its predictions and he
says he is the gamer by it. During the past
few years he has saved So, 800 by protecting
his plants from unreasonable weather, and
he learned of the approach of bad weather
by calling at the signal office.
On Sunday Mr.. Williams learned that
the cold wave that is now here was coming,
and he had all his hot beds closed that
night. He left word to have all the hands
ready next morning, and yesterday they
covered all the plants that would be injured
by the cold wave, and they are now as
warm and comfortable as if the cold wave
was back in the far Northwest. Other
truck farmers could do the same thing and
save themselves any amount of money by
protecting their plants before bad weather
comes on.

Haverly's Minstrels Tonight and To-

Haverly's minstrels never go begging for
an audience The company is one of the
most popular minstrel companies that comes
here. The sale of tickets began as usual
with a rush. Minstrelsy, in the sense of a
company of vocalists travelling together for
the entertainment of the people, is, and
always has been, a very popular kind of
amusement. 1t seems to have more points
of contact with human sympathy than any
other kind of performance. Colored min
strelsy is essentially an American feature,
and has come into popular favor
since the war. From more or less
accomplished troupes Of songsters the
art has developed in a multitude
of directions, finding place for all branches
of the dramatic profession. 1t is probable
that the successful minstrel troupe Of to-
day has more objects of general interest
than any other kind of drama, and, Us a
rule, these troupes draw better Hav-
erley's this season has many features which
have been added since the company has
been here 1t will play here two nights, to-
night and tomorrow night.

From Spring to Autumn in a Few
Hours-Ihe Cold Wave Here.
The cold wave which was predicted has
materailized, and within few hours Savan-
nah has jumped from balmy spring into
very late autumn, and winter will be here
this morning. The Thermometer went up to
rs yesterday, but by 10 o'clock last
night it had dropped to So
and the bottom seemed to have
fallen out, for it was still going down and
at lively rate By morning the whole of
the United States east of the Rocky noun
tains will be included within the limits of
the cold wave, which is one of the most ex-
tensive on record, In the extreme north
west the mercury is budding together in
the buib to keep warm and the
top of the silver thread only
reaches up to 26' below zero. From that
point there is steady rise toward the east
and southeast The South Atlantic States
were the warmest but they had caught only
the advance guard of the wave. The
barometer is high all over the country,
and it ranges from 1910 to 80. 10
inches everywhere except in the
southeast, where it is from 80. 10 to so. 90
inches, but it is steadily rising. The wave
is moving rapidly, but it will probably re-
quire several days for it to pass, even as it
has taken two to get here, and it has not
yet begun to show signs of weakening in
the Northwest, from whence it is coming.

A Bargain in Every Purchase.

Is the rule of the Famous" northeast cor
ner Congress and Whitaker streets. We
hold out no inducements in one article we
sell, and then charge more on another to
make up. Positively every purchase
made of us is bargain, whether it is in
Clothing, Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods,
Hats, Trunks or Umbrellas. How can we
do so! Plain enough. Two of the firm are
constantly on the lookout in New York for
goods in our line, with the ready cash, buy
ing only at the lowest prices, manufactur-
ing all the clothing there, thereby saving
to our patrons the retailers profit, which is
at least So 80 to S. 90 on a suit or overcoat
Beside that, it enables us to have our cloth
ing made up and trimmed better than ordi-
narily done by manufacturers, as we make
them up for our own sale, and strive to have
our customers pleased, not only when they
purchase, but also in the wearing of the
garment We are thankful for the patron
age received, and can thank ourselves for
receiving so much of it, by giving the good
quality of Clothing for such low prices.
